[News]Koeman: It's not as negative as everybody is thinking

[everton1952]

Ha Ha, dredging up past nightmares to terrify us? Ronald seemed to say that if we had won 2-1 instead of 2-2 then we would all have gone away "happy". This is Everton not Carlisle Utd. Gone away relieved at winning yes, but still appalled at our standard of football.

Its bad, im not entirely sure its Mike Walker, Kendal MK 3 or even Walter Smith levels of bad tho

Early days yet ...do you really wanna be in a worse situation come Christmas.

[Evertonian in NC]

The problem is, aside from Palace, the level of top-to-bottom competitiveness is much improved from Walter Smith days.

We can't just assume a relegation battle is out of the question.  It's certainly not inevitable.  But I don't think it's straightjacket territory to consider, either.

Haha he's taking the piss right?

Starting to think he is seriously taking the piss.

Koeman walsh and Rooney at the quiz..

[everton1952]

Somehow I suppose he has to make positive noises, otherwise the owner would assume he had "lost it".

[Silas]

It's bad but I'm not even sure it's Roberto at his worst bad, never mind Smith or Walker

[SANA_DR0]

The system is phenomenal, but ok, they had ten men, phenomenal i said, but ok, the players where scared of the phenomenal system.

Imagine better players in this phenomenal system. I still need to bring my own players in, I had 8 players missing from the team yesterday, we could be phenomenal, but ok.

[eyesalwaysblue]

If we're not sure which particular bad period this is as bad as, then it's at least as bad....

[ally2]

People are going to have a pop whatever he says so it really doesn't matter.

If he blames the players it's out of order. If he blames himself he's accused of not doing anything about it. If he changes the team he's accused of meddling. If he doesn't he's accused of being stubborn.

Better off not talking to the media or fans but of course he has to.

They were truly dark, dark days!

[Bluedylan]

£220m spent.

[everton1952]

£220M what? Koeman has just said we spent £54 - 50M - look at the Echo report of his statement that we spent only a little more than Huddersfield. I cannot find an Echo interview video to show him talking about this and his own job. The one described as a preview of the Burnley game is not the one. If someone can find the interview which talks about what was spent and about himself feeling like "shit" after the game and whether he might be sacked or not, I would like to see it.
